CHAP. XI.


1    note noteA false balance is abomination to the Lord: but note a just weight is his delight.


2    noteWhen pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.


3    noteThe integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.


4    noteRiches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.


5   The righteousness of the perfect shall note direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.


6   The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but note transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.


7   When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.


8    noteThe righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.


9   A note hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.


10   When the righteous prosper, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.


11   By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.


12   He that is note void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.


13    noteA tale-bearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.


14    noteWhere no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.


15   He that is surety for a stranger note shall smart for it: and he that hateth note suretiship is sure.


16   A gracious woman retaineth honor: and strong men retain riches.


17   The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.


18   The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.


19   As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.


20   They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.


21   Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.


22   As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman who note is without discretion.


23   The desire of the righteous is only

-- --

Before CHRIST, 1000. good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.


24   There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.


25    note noteThe liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.


26   He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.


27   He that diligently seeketh good procureth favor: note but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come to him.


28   He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but note the righteous shall flourish as a branch.


29   He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.


30   The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that note winneth souls is wise.


31    noteBehold, the righteous shall be recompensed upon the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
